Chapter 618: Exposed in front of hundreds of millions of viewers
Everything was so perfect. After catching Ronald's gaze, most people responded with a catering smile. Under the strong lighting of the scene, the smiles were covered with a layer of warmth, making them look like
Very sincere.
However, it was impossible to tell the thoughts hidden under the smile at a glance. Ronald withdrew his gaze, and the bright light also created many shadows, making it difficult to see the people inside.
The malicious intent that Ronald suspected was not apparent, but he was certain that it must be hiding somewhere.
Forget it, Ronald has no deliberate public relations for such a technical award. He still has to wait and see who will win the next performance award to know the results of his offensive.
Liam Neeson came on stage very gentlemanly and announced another technical minor award, the Best Sound Effects Award. This award is the same as the Best Special Effects, with only three nominations. In the end, the long-awaited "Jurassic Park" won the award.
.
After all, the sound effects made by those ancient monsters from the Jurassic Period, which are like stepping on the audience's ears, are the sound effects that appear every year in the other two movies Cliffhanger and The Fugitive. They are not on the same level at all.
"The next presenter, five-time Oscar nominee...let us welcome Glenn Gross..."
Whoopi Goldberg meant well as the host, but Glenn Gross, who walked onto the stage in a silver evening gown, still took a deep breath before speaking, "She has appeared in 44 movies.
Active on the screen for more than thirty years..."
"Six Oscar nominations..."
Ronald, like many people who know history, completed the clause in his seat. Deborah Kerr walked out with a little stagger, and Glenn Gross even helped her.
In the twilight years of my life, I was awarded a consolation honorary award by the academy and had to go on stage to say good things about the academy. This kind of history cannot be said to be lucky at all.
However, Deborah Kerr, just like the lady role she is best at playing, gave a very appropriate acceptance speech, thanking all the directors and stars who had supported her in the past...
The Academy, which hosts the Oscars, generally operates the awards as an annual review of an industry association. Therefore, whoever can gain more reputation, attention, and money for the entire Hollywood industry, the nominations will be tilted towards these people.
As for the awards, it depends on the results of the voting. The executive committee members of the college have no way to interfere.
The only thing the executive committee members can interfere with is the awarding of honorary awards every year. On this point, Hollywood still has some human touch, although not a lot.
This touch of humanity is also to maintain the overall reputation of Hollywood. If a star who has starred in many movies that are often remembered is in poor health and has not won an Oscar, then an honorary award must be arranged as soon as possible.
Schedule. In case the star unfortunately passes away, there will be no statuette.
If such a thing happens, words attacking the college for being impersonal will come, which is unacceptable to those executive members who rely on the members to elect them. This is why Henry Fonda won the honorary award first, and then
The reason why he won the best actor award was because he was in poor health at that time. No one expected that he would be able to play the role of On Golden Pond later...
After becoming the chairman of DDH, Ronald seems to be able to view the Hollywood game from a higher perspective. If possible, no one wants to be a villain to hinder a person who is deeply loved by the audience or peers.
, get the statuette he or she deserves.
As a person who wants to win an award, the most important thing to do is to take advantage of the situation instead of blindly spending money on public relations. Just like Spielberg this year, who else can compete with him? Every time Schindler
list, or when Jurassic Park was announced as a nominee, the audience's applause was obviously one or two levels louder than that of other nominees.
"The next thing I'm going to present the Best Animated Short Award, and the Best Short Film Award for, is an incredible woman who is a friend of Diane Lane and Madonna, and Meg Ryan of Sleepless in Seattle.
Friend, if I introduce her like this, she'd better be my friend... Rosie O'Donnell..."
Rosie O'Donnell, this fat woman, is very popular in the industry. When it comes to supporting roles, she is the one who should win the award, because other so-called best supporting actresses often win awards
The actress may be more dazzling than the heroine in the movie. But Rosie O'Donnell is a real supporting role. With her here, any heroine will be set off very well.
Just like among this year's Best Supporting Actress nominees, among Winona Ryder, Emma Thompson, and Holly Hunter, which one will be the foil for others on the screen?
That is to say, the very young Best Supporting Actress nominee, Anna Paquin, who plays the daughter of Holly Hunter in the piano lesson, is considered a real supporting role.
"Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, awarded to...Winona Ryder...The Age of Innocence"
Sure enough, this year's Best Supporting Actress was also awarded to a pseudo-supporting actress. In the Age of Innocence, Winona Ryder was not much less than another female star, Michelle Pfeiffer. But she is beautiful.
Many people ignore the shortcomings. Many people have tried to sign up for the female protagonist before, and everyone still applauded warmly to congratulate her.
"Um?"
Ronald didn't pay attention to Winona Ryder, who had short hair and stuttered her speech on the stage. The feeling of being spied on came to his mind again.
This time he did not immediately look back, but closed his eyes, carefully savored the direction of the source of the malice, and then turned back sharply.
"snort……"
Behind where Ronald was sitting, in the direction of rows five or six, a strong, pig-like head was staring at him fiercely. It was none other than Harvey Weinstein, who had been defeated by his public relations offensive. He
Not far away is Kaige Chen, the director of the Chinese-language film "Farewell My Concubine", which received several nominations this year.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kaige seemed to be trying to say something to Harvey in his broken English. But Harvey Weinstein’s little eyes didn’t look at it at all.
Instead, he stared at himself.
For a moment, his and Ronald's eyes intertwined in the air, seemingly breaking the boundary. Ronald felt as if he heard Harvey's indignant "hum".
"What's wrong?" Diane noticed the abnormality, leaned her head over and asked.
"It's okay, a boring person..."
"What's boring? Haven't you reached the most exciting grand prize yet?" Tom Cruise next to him heard something and came over to talk to Ronald.
"How do you feel?" Ronald was a little worried about Cruise's mentality. Last time he ran for the election with such great popularity, and ended up losing. The photographers at the scene loved to capture the expressions on the faces of these losers.
.
"I'm okay. In fact, the award ceremony is also a competition of acting skills. This is a competition where four actors who lost the nomination play a game that is happy for the winner..."
"Pfft..." Ronald almost laughed out loud. Tom Cruise still has a sense of humor, which means he has a good attitude.
"Miss Lien..."
The assistant next to her came over and invited her to the stage. If the Science and Technology Achievement Award was awarded in advance, the video would be played on the stage, but Diane, who was presenting the award at the time, also had to go on stage to show off.
Ronald stood up and went on stage with Diane on his arm. He wanted to take the opportunity to see if there was anyone who had malicious intentions towards him. After becoming a superior, he also became sensitive to the aura between such people.
A lot.
"Ronald..."
Malice was not found, but Ronald's full aura attracted the attention of another person. Spielberg noticed Ronald who was escorting Diane to the stage and called him out.
"How do you feel? Are you ready for your acceptance speech?" Ronald sent out congratulations. This year's feeling for him is very similar to that of Silence of the Lambs. Every time Spielberg's film is named by the award guest at the beginning of the year, it will gain significantly more.
High-decibel shouts and applause are the best indicators. After all, the people present are all judges with the right to vote for the Oscars.
"Ha, do you have any advice? I haven't won an award yet?" Spielberg could see that he was nervous, and his words were very different from usual.
"Huh?" Ronald then realized that unlike himself, who won the Oscar for Best Original Score when he was young, and later won the Best Film as a producer, Spielberg not only did not win the Best Director
, has not even won any other Oscars.
I didn't expect that today would be your first time... Ronald smiled like an old man, "Be careful of that trophy, it's really heavy..."
"ah?"
Spielberg was taken aback. He didn't expect Ronald to say this to him. Kate Capshaw, who was next to him, smiled brightly and said to her husband, "Ronald means, you must have won an award today."
…”
"It's hard to say, there are often unexpected upsets at the Oscars..." Spielberg instead began to worry about gains and losses.
In the next few awards, no upsets happened. Age of Innocence won the Best Costume Award again, defeating the equally popular Piano Lesson.
John Williams won the best score for Schindler's List, and Janus Kaminsky also won the best cinematography award for Schindler's List.
"The category is Best Foreign Language Film, and the condition must be a feature film released in theaters. The nominees include Farewell My Concubine, The Wedding Banquet, A Taste of Green Papaya..."
Ronald had returned to his seat and looked back at Harvey Weinstein. This year's best foreign language film was Asia's Big Year, which accounted for three of the five nominations.
"The best foreign language film is awarded to..." The award guest Anthony Hopkins did not say any jokes and directly announced the winner "Belle Epoque", Spain.
"Uh..." Ronald seemed to hear a huge sigh from behind. Kaige Chen, who had come to the Oscars with the power of the Palme d'Or in Cannes, could not accept such a blow for a while, and even her polite smile was gone.
It’s no wonder that the status of Cannes is stronger than that of Venice. Compared to Yimou Zhang, who was the first to win the Golden Bear in China, Kaige’s expectations for herself are much stronger than this opponent.
Previously, Yimou's "Raise the Red Lantern", which in his opinion had no breakthrough, could win the Best Foreign Language Film. It was a big disappointment that he didn't win it. Moreover, his original opponent was Ang Lee.
The Wedding Banquet, this Spanish Belle époque, tells the story of a young man pursuing four sisters. Does Farewell My Concubine reflect the entire era so wonderfully?
Alas, Hollywood idiots really don’t understand art.
As soon as director Fernando Chuba came on stage to accept the award, Kaige became even more angry. This man had a squinting eye...
"I would like to thank everyone on my crew, some of whom are in Spain and some in China..."
Fernando Chuba speaks English very well.
"I have many people to thank, but if I want to thank God, I have to believe in Him. But I only believe in Billy Wilder. Thank you, Mr. Wilder."
This acceptance speech made the audience burst into laughter. Comparing Billy Wilder, who has gradually been forgotten, to God is a joke that only Hollywood insiders can appreciate in full.
As a famous screenwriter and director in the golden age of Hollywood, many foreign filmmakers indeed worshiped him as a God and continued to draw nourishment from his movies. However, some directors in Hollywood have forgotten about him.
Chuba's witty acceptance speech this time will definitely be reported again. At that time, a retrospective exhibition of Billy Wilder's works will be launched, just in time to warm up Mr. Sweetheart, who he promised to make a guest appearance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ronald started planning with a smile, these European directors are cuter, they don’t use clichés, they are really exciting.
"On the stage tonight, you have all listened to the five songs that were nominated for the Best Original Song Award. In order to refresh your memory, I am going to sing the five songs again..."
The person who took the stage to present this award was Whitney Houston. She has a slightly elegant sense of humor that is different from other black women. "But the organizing committee asked me to save time, so I just signed up..."
"The Oscar goes to Bruce Springsteen, Streets of Philadelphia..."
"Hahaha..." Ronald didn't look back, but he also knew that Harvey Weinstein's neck was tightening even more.
While Jurassic Park swept all the technical awards and Schindler's List included all the artistic awards, only a few were left out.
The Philadelphia story led by Ronald has already won two games.
"Best Original Screenplay, Jane Campion...The Piano Lesson..."
"Hahaha……"
This time it was Ronald's turn to be disappointed, and Harvey Weinstein behind him burst out laughing. The biggest opponent Jane Campion defeated in piano lessons was Ron Nesvany, the screenwriter of The Philadelphia Story
you.
"It's gone..." Ronald applauded politely. I don't know what kind of public relations Harvey Weinstein did, but he actually grabbed two small prizes. This person acted very radically, and he was probably some evil person.
means.
Fortunately, my offensive is backed by huge financial resources, and it cannot be defeated by the Weinstein brothers' money. I will have to be more defensive against him in the future.
There was no surprise in the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Stephen Zaillian of Schindler's List undoubtedly won the statuette. In addition, Schindler's List won the Best Editing Award, which basically announced that Spear
Berg's award.
In the history of the Oscars, the correlation between these three awards has always been very high.
On the other hand, movie kings and movie queens have little to do with these three items. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise also face the challenge of Daniel Day-Lewis' In the Name of the Father.
“The Oscar for Best Actor goes to…Tom Hanks…Philadelphia Story.”
Emma Thompson, like Anthony Hopkins, did not tell a joke like a Hollywood star, but announced the award straightforwardly.
"Oh..."
This award set off a climax. Everyone stood up and applauded to express congratulations. Tom Cruise smiled bitterly at Ronald and also stood up and applauded.
This can be regarded as the admiration and encouragement of everyone in Hollywood for Hanks to break the taboo and play such a... role. Not many actors will risk their careers to play such a role, and if others play it, it represents Hollywood
Actors as a whole make sacrifices and contributions to the cause of progress.
"Tom..." Hanks walked up to Cruise and hugged him gently, and the two wished each other good luck.
"Winning beautifully..." Ronald sat down with everyone. As soon as he won the award today, he achieved his expected goal.
Tom Hanks was obviously very nervous. This was also the first time for him. He kept changing hands while holding the statuette.
"...I don't know if I should do this, I probably shouldn't do this, but everyone deserves this kind of heavenly moment.
I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for two very important men in my life...whom I haven't had contact with in a long time. One is Raleigh Farnsworth, my high school drama teacher, and
One of my drama class classmates was John Helson, who was also taught by Mr. Farnsworth.
The reason I mention their names is that they are two of America's finest few oriented people..."
"Good guy, good guy, Tom Hanks, you are so excited..."
Ronald had no choice but to cover his face. This guy won the Best Actor Award and actually sent his high school teachers and classmates out of the closet on the spot in a live broadcast watched by tens of millions of people across the country and hundreds of millions of people around the world...
